Hours

“Hours,” a small movie starring the late Paul Walker who was killed in a car crash in Valencia on Nov. 30, is being released today in a couple theaters around Los Angeles and on Video on Demand.

Set around a New Orleans hospital, where the power goes out during Hurricane Katrina, Walker’s character, Nolan, is given his newborn baby after his wife dies in childbirth. The hospital is being abandoned but the infant needs a ventilator to live, and Nolan spends the movie searching for ways to keep the ventilator going amid the chaos.

A car lover, Walker came to fame as part of the “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, but most of his film career was spent in small indie movies like “Hours” (two others were released this year) where he was able to show his acting rather than driving skills.
